00:00 - 00:03 | Sir, I'm afraid we've lost more of the T.A |
00:04 - 00:05 | Two more RTU'd today |
00:05 - 00:07 | One from West, the other from East |
00:08 - 00:12 | At this rate we won't have any left by the end of August |
00:12 - 00:15 | which means we won't have anyone for Life Guard duties at the pool |
00:17 - 00:19 | What about the MFR? |
00:19 - 00:21 | It is their tour after all |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | The... |
00:31 - 00:33 | The MFR don't work week days |
00:34 - 00:36 | and they finish at lunch on weekends |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone with a buckshee role who contributes absolutely nothing to this mission needs to leave right now |
01:13 - 01:15 | WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS REGIMENT? |
01:15 - 01:17 | WE HAVE A VVIP VISIT TOMORROW! |
01:18 - 01:23 | WHAT IS BRIGADIER CAPPS SUPPOSED TO DO IF HE WANTS TO GO FOR AN EARLY MORNING SWIM?! |
01:25 - 01:28 | THE QM HAS ONLY JUST GOT THE DAMN THING OPEN AGAIN! |
01:29 - 01:31 | AND EVEN NOW THE LINING ISN'T PROPERLY SORTED! |
01:31 - 01:34 | IT'S NOT JUST THE POOL THATS THE PROBLEM THOUGH! |
01:34 - 01:37 | THE MOAN ABOUT EVERYTHING! THE WORK, THE HOURS, THE CURFEW |
01:37 - 01:40 | THIS IS AN OPERATIONAL TOUR NOT BUTLINS! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, the PowerPoints said we could 'take advantage of what the island has to offer' |
01:42 - 01:46 | I THINK YOU'VE SEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH OF WHAT THE ISLAND HAS TO OFFER ADRIAN! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, you said I could have that 48hr pass? |
01:48 - 01:52 | I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD BRING YOUR CIVVIE MISSUS INTO LPH AFTER HOURS THROUGH GHURKA GATE DID I?! |
01:53 - 01:54 | THOSE WERE MY FAVOURITE PENS! |
01:56 - 01:57 | I CAN'T BELIEVE WE BROUGHT THEM WITH US! |
01:57 - 02:00 | EVERY DAY I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE SAME POINTLESS WEATHER BRIEF! |
02:00 - 02:03 | I KNOW IT'S HOT! IT'S CYPRUS IN SUMMER! OF COURSE IT'S HOT! |
02:04 - 02:08 | AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT SO-CALLED "MEDIA OFFICER"! |
02:08 - 02:13 | IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL PID! HE MADE UP HIS OWN E-MAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH THOSE CHIP SHOP BUSINESS CARDS! |
02:14 - 02:16 | AND THEN THERE'S THE PADRE..... |
02:17 - 02:21 | WOULD HE LOSE HIS PLACE IN HEAVEN IF HE WERE TO TAKE A SHOWER OR PUT ON SOME DEODORANT?! |
02:27 - 02:29 | How could I forget about the M.O?! |
02:30 - 02:34 | If she sends any more troops back it will be us who has to go out on patrols.... |
02:34 - 02:36 | .....and she wants to do Zumba again! |
02:41 - 02:42 | How did they even get mobilised in the first place?! |
02:43 - 02:47 | MOST OF THEM COULDN'T HIT WATER IF THEY WERE IN A BOAT LET ALONE PASS THEIR MATT'S! |
02:48 - 02:53 | FUTURE 2020 WILL NEVER WORK IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE UP THIRTY PERCENT OF THE ARMY! |
02:54 - 02:56 | They make the floppies at Sandhurst look like The Pathfinders! |
02:56 - 02:59 | If it was my choice I'd bring the rest of the Regiment out here tomorrow..... |
03:00 - 03:02 | ....AND SEND THEM ALL HOME WITHOUT MEDALS! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry....we'll still get our bounty |
03:14 - 03:16 | At least we've only got a couple of months left |
03:19 - 03:23 | And I've still not taken my two weeks of R&R |
03:25 - 03:26 | That's gonna be sweet |
03:31 - 03:33 | I might do the '7 Clicks' when we get back |
03:40 - 03:46 | Anything so long as I don't have to see the Reserves ever again |
03:46 - 03:49 | I must have done enough to get my Colonel out of this...... |
03:53 - 03:56 | ......or at least an MBE |
